Present me with a person who is born and raised with no concept of god whatsoever and, when presented with that concept proceeds to accept it as trustworthy, thus following the religion of the god that was presented to him/her.
Are you truly comparing teaching scientific discoveries about reality with teaching folklore?
Conform or die?
Now now, boy... you're threading on thin ice... go ahead and say the name that TGAC is expecting...
Present me with someone who is born with a concept of God and, when presented with the concept that no God exists proceeds to accept it as trustworthy, thus following the areligion of the person that was presented to him/her. In other words, if religion is a brainwashing process then Atheism is also.
What scientific discoveries disproved the existence of God? Shouldn't you say, "There have been no scientific discoveries that prove the existence of a God." History and archeology are not folklore. Why are you treating those areas of knowledge as red-headed stepchildren?
This thread is evolving at a crazy pace! I can't even reply... others have done so more or less like I would!
History and Archeology have provided no evidence whatsoever for the existence of any god... They do provide evidence that people have believed in several gods.... Last I heard, the count was just shy of 3000 gods, for the whole of humanity's history.
How does a newborn discern which of those 3k gods is the REAL one?... if any!
Brainwashing? indoctrination? parents teaching what they think they know that was taught to them when they were children by other people who suffered the same teachings, who got the same message from other people...?
What makes you so sure your god is the REAL one?
